Book Review of Tet (Vietnam Ground Zero, No 11)

Tet (Vietnam Ground Zero, No 11)
reviewed Another excellent read! on + 6 more book reviews


I have read almost all of Eric Helm's VIETNAM:GROUND ZERO series and have found each one to be an outstanding read. TET is no exception. America wanted to believe the Vietnam War was coming to an end. The White House and Pentagon were convinced it was so. But the men in the field knew better. Gerber & Fetterman go "fact-finding" from MACV/SOG & trigger an enemy ambush. Robin Morrow's reporter's instincts tell her that despite the daily dog-and-pony show put on by military briefers, things are too quiet. Of course, no one wants to hear that kind of news. But before long, everyone will find out what Gerber, Fetterman & Morrow have suspected...the VC and NVA are far from beaten, and are ready to prove it!
